More quotes by George Washington Carver
Look about you. Take hold of the things that are here. Let them talk to you. You learn to talk to them.
George Washington Carver
You can't tear up everything just to get the dollar out of it without suffering as result. It is a travesty to burn our woods and thereby burn up the fertilizer nature has provided for us. We must enrich our soil every year instead of merely depleting it. It is fundamental that nature will drive away those who commit sin against it.
George Washington Carver
Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.
George Washington Carver
Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.
George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver
Where there is no vision, there is no hope.
George Washington Carver
There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.
George Washington Carver
He who puts a product upon the market as it demands, controls that market, regardless of color. It is simply a survival of the fittest.
George Washington Carver
I think I'll sleep now.
George Washington Carver
All my life I have risen regularly at four o'clock and have gone into the woods and talked to God. There He gives me my orders for the day.
George Washington Carver
Education is understanding relationships.
George Washington Carver
Most people search high and wide for the key to success. If they only knew, the key to their dreams lies within.
George Washington Carver
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.
George Washington Carver
The beating on the tail of the snake may stop his progress a little, but the more vital parts must be struck before his poisonous death-dealing venom will be wiped out.
George Washington Carver
When our thoughts - which bring actions - are filled with hate against anyone, Negro or white, we are in a living hell. That is as real as hell will ever be.
George Washington Carver
Education, in the broadest of truest sense, will make an individual seek to help all people, regardless of race, regardless of color, regardless of condition.
George Washington Carver
We have become ninety-nine percent money mad. The method of living at home modestly and within our income, laying a little by systematically for the proverbial rainy day which is due to come, can almost be listed among the lost arts.
George Washington Carver
Learn to do the common things uncommonly well.
George Washington Carver
If you listen carefully enough to anything, it will talk to you.
George Washington Carver
We get closer to God as we get more intimately and understandingly acquainted with the things He has created. I know of nothing more inspiring than that of making discoveries for one's self.
George Washington Carver
